摎 centers on the action of binding or wrapping something into a compact form: tying into a bundle or coiling around an object.

摎 combines 扌 (hand) with 翏, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to binding or entwining. The exact historical development is uncertain.

The hand radical 扌 beside 翏 suggests a hand twisting or wrapping something. Picture a hand coiling a rope tightly into a bundle.

For ク, imagine coiling a rope into a tight bundle and securing it with a quick 'coo' sound: coo -> ク, as the hand ties it firmly.
